I've been down an alleyway with someone calling an ambulance because I just can't stop drinking.

And then I got my diagnosis of ADHD.

I got sober.

And suddenly I realized that so much of what was holding me back was my...

Not being aware of my addiction and how much ADHD played into that.

And with awareness, I was able to manage that challenge, which was my addiction, get that under control.

And then afterwards, you can really lean into the many strengths that come with being different.

And that led on to the podcast and sat here today interviewing incredible people like you.

And it's such a passion project of mine.

And to hear...

similar stories of people having that moment where they get a diagnosis and so much makes sense and they're able to turn their challenges and confusions into strengths.

Out of the patients that you've seen, Yath, do you have any stories of somebody getting a diagnosis and it being totally transformative to their life?

What a story.

What a story.

What a fantastic argument as well for some of the naysayers who might say that it's not genetic.

Yes, absolutely.

Do you mind me asking how old the grandmother was?

Yeah, so the grandmother was in her late 70s.

Do you think there is... I want to get to the age in a bit, but just rewinding a tad, do you think there is a general grieving process that someone goes through when they get an ADHD diagnosis?

Oh, yes.
